| "Barricade By Not Now Nancy" |
| "The work of Not Now Nancy stages a dichotomy between a pastoral past and a modern urbanism, bringing conflicting themes together into a harmonious and compellingly beautiful blend. Her prints are a fusion of layers, building found, antique illustrations into hand drawn elements and symbolic contemporary imagery to achieve a unique and captivating aesthetic. ‘Barricade’ depicts a large, bricolage butterfly, assembled from a series of greyscale illustrations: mechanical workings, Victorian muscle-men, and majestic rhinoceros heads combine to produce the illusion of the delicate, winged insect. The perfect symmetry of the collage has all the shocking perfection of an ink-blot test, which Not Now Nancy has exaggerated, adding cascading drips of black pigment and hand applied ribbons of gold leaf, which seem to slither"

| "Some Like It Hot By Chloe Rox" |
| "Contemporary artist Chloe works with a range of mixed media and digital approaches, combining strong, photographic elements with printed and painted embellishments for a fresh and innovative aesthetic. Her work considers the manipulation of the digital image, and every piece explores the possibility for an unexpected sense of dimensionality, transforming the flat, printed picture into a three dimensional illusion. ‘Some Like it Hot’ depicts the iconic Marilyn Monroe, decked out in provocative, S&M attire: her tight vinyl corset and elbow-length gloves glisten in the black and white light, while rows of silver chains and buckled strips of leather adorn her chest, running up to her neck collar. Only her parted, pouting lips have been colourised: a deep shade of scarlet, for stunning, sultry contrast against the monochrome photograph. A distressed, American flag comprises the background, all awash with dulled metallic tones, graffiti scrawls, and blocky text which reads ‘Some Like it Hot’, for a truly iconic work of contemporary art."

Butterflies hover around her extended fingers while, upon her head, Chloe has crafted an extravagant, silver tiara. For vibrant texture and an astonishing sense of depth, a collage of brightly coloured butterfly wings provides a beautiful backdrop, resulting in simply stunning work of contemporary art."

A fervent animal rights activist, Chloe’s print reminds us of the horror of the fur industry, and shows us that glamour and luxury need not come at the expense of soft, baby animals.

Behind the muse, Chloe has printed a Union Jack flag, which seems to crumble and decay at the edges - a statement on the demise of patriotism? An anarchic nod towards the repurposing of the country’s national emblem? Or simply the brilliant transposition of one of our most iconic cultural images for a truly striking work of contemporary art?"

| "Marilyn Medusa By Trafford Parsons" |
| "Trafford Parsons’ extraordinary and long-spanning career has made its mark on the art world. Avowedly anti-establishment, Parsons work mines popular culture, from B movies to B sides, and brings an energetic street-art aesthetic to the familiar icons that haunt his work. ‘Marilyn Medusa’ takes Warhol's iconic screen print and merges it with one of the Ancient Greek’s most enduring myths: that of Medusa, that snake-headed gorgon. Gone are Marilyn’s gentle waves of golden locks, replaced with a vicious hive of slithering snakes, their open, fanged jaws thrust towards the viewer. A beautiful fusion of cultural iconography, ‘Marilyn Medusa’ is first and foremost an exercise in bold, visual impact, which Parson’s has achieved with brilliant and easeful artistry."

| "Memento Mori 99 By Carl Moore" |
| "Digital artist Carl Moore produces an aesthetic like no other: revelling in the uncanny, Moore’s prints are an exercise in contemporary surreality, achieved to extraordinary success. Merging the playful with the tragic, the absurd with the endearing, Moore produces highly graphic images, bold in their colour and compositional technique. ‘Memento Mori ‘99’ is no exception: against a bright turquoise, star-studded, background, a classic ’99 ice cream dominates the frame, complete with melting drips, coursing down the cone. Yet, in true surreal fashion, Moore confounds our expectations: a closer look reveals not a deliciously whipped, frozen treat, but a human skull, its teeth biting over the edge of the cone, a flake protruding from its cranium, while a red splatter (strawberry sauce? or something a little more ominous…?) drips towards its sunken eye sockets. Certainly not your average ‘99 - and not your average screen print either: Moore’s work is brilliantly unique and devilishly spirited."

| "BISOUS By Sara Pope" |
| "Sara Pope is a contemporary British artist, known for her seductive paintings of bold and beautiful lips. With a background in the world of haute couture fashion, and a day job as a high profile shoe designer, it’s no surprise that Pope’s prints are so saturated with style and glamour. Pink, pouty and perfect, Pope’s lip prints, with their high gloss sheen and signature drips of running paint, are nothing short of iconic. ‘BISOUS’ is a departure from Pope’s classic image, depicting not the lips themselves, but their tantalising trace, as puckered pigments crowd the print in shades of cherry red, auburn, hot-pink, and burnt-orange. Playful and provocative, ‘BISOUS’ is full of visual allure, beautifully musing on the nature of beauty and celebrity in contemporary culture. HURRY HURRY - ONLY ONE AP AND ONE PP LEFT IN STOCK"

| "Bright based artist Richard Denne describes himself not as a painter, but as an architect. Building his brightly coloured, and often geometrically sensitive artworks from a blend of traditional and digital techniques, paint and printmaking processes, merging the figurative with the abstract, Denne's sexually attuned pieces are truly unique and breathtakingly beautiful. ‘Boys of Summer’ uses a mash-up of patterns and colours, shapes and styles, to create a dreamy vista, where the titular boys bathe in crystal clear waters, surrounded by tall palm trees, and rolling green lawns. Cherry-red sits against grass-green and sky-blue for a bold palette with strong visual impact, capturing the hazy heat of a summer’s evening with stunning artistic clarity."

| "Self-styled ‘craftivist’ Carrie Reichardt’s work intersects craft and activism, using mural, mosaic and screen-printing to forge a pioneering aesthetic. Inspired by the British tradition of subversive ceramics, her work is characteristically colourful, attuned to the tactile as much as the visual, incorporating text to convey a powerful message. ‘Mad in England - Brexshit Special’ depicts the image of a golden, gilt frame, containing a royal-red mosaic pattern, studded with eclectic imagery. Using white tiles for striking constant, Reichardt has created the image of the British crown with the words ‘Mad in England’ positioned underneath. Forget the jingoistic myth of ‘made in England’, Reichardt’s piece seems to say; the only thing that rhetoric has exposed is our own madness in the chaos of ‘Brexshit’. Here here!"

Responding to contemporary culture, Bryant’s art subverts the everyday and the banal, always striving to disrupt the ordinary and create something entirely new. Her recent series appropriates the classic, antiquated landscape painting: steering away from the iconic work of the masters, Bryant favours the unloved and the unknown, those over-worked pastiches of a Turner or a Constable, that fill the tables of junk shops. Onto these, Bryant has added anachronistic motifs to create a jarring and unexpected end result. ‘Tesco Local’ depicts a sleepy 1800s village, complete with cobbled paths, cottages…oh, and a Tesco Local, a recent addition to solve all of those hard ships of country life like, ‘we’re almost out of quinoa!’ or, ‘have we bought The Guardian today?’."

Chengxiang’s work draws on early surrealist movements, evoking the strange, unsettling imagery of Dali or Magritte, but brought up to date with incredible, high definition colour palettes, where billowing clouds of multicoloured pigment ooze across bizarre dreamscapes. ‘Journey in the Clouds No. 8’ depicts a rocky, lunar landscape, as a tiny spaceman, barley visible, steps weightless across the horizon. In the centre of the print, an explosion has gone off, as a gust of vapour spurts from the ground in Chengxiang’s characteristic cloud, laced with veinlike strands of bright colour, for brilliant juxtaposition against the otherwise monochrome landscape. ‘Journey in the Clouds No. 8’ is about pure, visual power: Chengxiang doesn’t ask his viewers to read his panting or to make logical conclusions, but to revel in the strangeness of the unconscious and creative mind.
